WHAT: Community. It’s a frequently used word. In Latin, it means fellowship. Say “community” and images of neighborhoods, church, and family come to mind. Say “community” at Nolan Catholic and speak to the very essence of the school.

For almost 50 years, Nolan Catholic High School has served as a key source for secondary education and faith formation in the Fort Worth Diocese. Underlying this mission of education and faith is building community. Whether through service, athletics, or fine arts and music, thousands of young adults and their families have built and continue to experience the Nolan Catholic community.

Our community is built around touchstone events, including homecoming, graduation, and as we celebrate every spring, Mardi Gras. This year marks the 29th anniversary of one of our most important fellowship events and it’s going to prove to be a special night. We have the honor of being your Chairs for the 2010 Mardi Gras Western Style Dinner, Dance and Auction on February 13, 2010. Here are five great reasons you’ll want to attend:

1. Great Place: The event will be held at the newly renovated Sheraton in Downtown Fort Worth 2. Great Fellowship: Join 400 friends and family of the NCHS community for a great seated dinner and live music.
3. Valentine’s Day: Celebrate with your spouse or special someone. Special packages are available.
4. Great Prizes: Have a chance to bid on sports packages, memorabilia, trips, special dinners, graduation seating, tuition raffle, and other prizes.
5. Vital Support: Be a part of NCHS’s largest fund raiser, which supports education,
extracurricular programs, and financial aid for our community.

Like all community efforts, events like these don’t happen without broad support. If you only have an hour to spare, we could use your help. Please consider volunteering your time to make this year’s event special. And regardless of the time or treasure you’re willing to contribute, please mark your calendars for February 13 and plan to attend.

We’ll see you there!
